This paper attempts to compose a cosmology starting from Nietzsche’s thought. In order to so, it is essential to deal with two kinds of “grandnesses” that serve to constitute an idea of world: the forces and the time. For the composition of the framework of a cosmology supported by the thought of the German philosopher, it is fundamental to analyze, firstly, the notions of relational forces – will to power – and the eternal return. After that, a space of conversation between the mentioned philosophical descriptions and some speculations generated by the modern quantum physics will be proposed, especially those derived from the string theory. It is not expected, with this theoretical conversation, the defense of some “scientific firmness” crossed in the thought of Nietzsche, or the argument that the philosopher advanced conclusions that collaborated with this branch of physics. In fact, the points of convergence – if any – among the descriptions are nearest to an attempt of narrating a “reading” of the world: “our own reading”.
